I'm a freelance writer and editor specializing in journalism and essays about art and culture.
My work has appeared in The Boston Globe, BuzzFeed, Los Angeles Magazine, NBC Asian America, O: The Oprah Magazine, The Rumpus, Shondaland, The Washington Post, Zora, and Apartment Therapy, where I am currently the weekend editor. My essays will also be included in two anthologies coming out in the next two years. Previously, I co-founded The Blend, a HelloGiggles vertical dedicated to mixed-race and multicultural identity. Before that, I was the online editor at Japanese American community newspaper The Rafu Shimpo and a fiction reader at Guernica Magazine. I have a Master of Professional Writing (MPW) in Nonfiction from the University of Southern California and a BA in Japanese Studies from Middlebury College. I also test knitting patterns for designers and yarn companies and teach classes at a local yarn shop.
